Picking up The Persian again. Back in 2017, I had made it to 18.25 hours of French knot stitching. The look turned out very rich, and I’m pleased with it so far.
Here are the needles I’m using, John James embroidery in size 10. I has helped immensely to have multiple needles in play so I can have many different colors threaded for the small areas without having to stop to change colors.
Since I like to have side projects for down time, I’ve put this rug back into circulation. After many years away from it, I found it difficult to follow my change notes. I had made a color copy of the original booklet pattern and then added notes about color substitutions. To make things easier, I decided to chart the design using Pattern Maker Pro so I could print out a fresh chart with my updated color list. It feels good to get back to this lovely project.

It is already gorgeous; the finished project is going to be a showstopper.
